Making the right transportation decisions for your exhibit materials will not only save you time and money, but also a lot of aggravation. Exhibit transportation can be fairly complex. Review each transportation option in terms of cost, time frame, and type of shipment, and choose the one that best fits your situation. When possible, ship in advance to the warehouse. Our drayage contractor will receive materials and provide up to 30 days storage before delivering them to the McCormick Place. Although the advance receiving rates are approximately 25% more than the direct shipping rates due to the additional handling, shipping your materials in advance is a good investment for the following reasons: • You can verify receipt of your materials in Chicago, IL well in advance of the exposition, without worrying about lost or misdirected shipments. • You won’t have to deal with stand-by charges from your motor freight carrier while your direct shipment waits in line to be unloaded at the McCo
